List all the elements of each of the sets given below.
E = {x : x ϵ Z and x2 = x}.
Given: x ∈ Z and x2 = x
Z is a set of integers
Integers are …-2 , -1, 0, 1, 2, …
Now, if we take x = -2 then we have to check that it satisfies the given condition x2 = x
(-2)2 = 4 ≠ 2
So, -2 ∉ E
If x = -1 then (-1)2 = 1 ≠ -1 [not satisfying x2 = x]
So, -1 ∉ E
If x = 0 then (0)2 = 0 [satisfying x2 = x]
∴ 0 ∈ E
If x = 1 then (1)2 = 1 [satisfying x2 = x]
∴ 1 ∈ E
If x = 2 then (2)2 = 4 ≠ 2 [not satisfying x2 = x]
⇒ 2 ∉ E
So, E = {0, 1}
